I am bored and was watching an old episode of DBZ during the tournament and I forgot how disappointing Supreme Kai turned out to be compared to his first introduction. He went from looking cool to bitching the whole damn Buu arc.
Who do you got on your disappointing list?

I have an idea, let's take an iconic villain and make him as shitty as possible

Captain Phasma from The Force Awakens.
She had such a badass look plus a female Stormtrooper was something entirely new and interesting. But she did nothing.

Mandarin in Iron Man 3. While I didn't hate the twist, it really was a let down.

Wasn't she knocked down a garbage pipe or something? I'm going to go with Galician from Skies of Arcadia. A man who you have to run away from & avoid for much of the game, only to be a total pushover in battle, and flees in an escape pod afterward, where Belleza completes her face turn by ramming into him. Plus, he gave us ultra whiny bitch ass Ramirez, so he really sucks in my book.

To be honest, there really wasn't any need to have her in the movie in the first place. There's Snoke, Ren, and Hux who're essentially the Emporer, Vader, and Tarkin analogues, so what's the point of having a fourth-tier antagonist? They could've made her character a nameless lackey, or bumped Hux and put her in that role. If she doesn't have anything of note to do in Last Jedi then we'll have found the Boba Fett of the sequel trilogy.

Yeah, I've said the best use of her would have been to have her be the one in charge of the base instead of the wanna be Tarkin. That said... this list can pretty much be filled with Star Wars characters. Lucas had the unbelievable ability to make really cool looking villains and then do absolutely f***ing nothing with them. Boba Fett, Darth Maul, Count Dooku, General Grievous... (I'm talking about the movies obviously)

But I think the whole point of her existence will be for someone for Finn to fight and kill in the final movie, so they had to establish her as his C.O. To be honest almost every major character in the prequels, regardless of alignment, was a disappointment. Jedi Sam Jackson? Don't give him anything to do. Yoda? Sits in a chair for 90% of his screen time. Anakin? 'Nuff said already.

Oh yeah, Grievous. The Clone Wars series made him look like an absolute beast, some horrifying creature who was ripping the Jedi apart. I was excited for it based on that.
The movie made him a weak wheezing loser with a video game weak point who lost on a lizard ride off and fought with a windmill. So lame.

Boba Fett?
He doesn't do a damned thing really.

Serpentor turned out to be a goon more often than not, after a great five episode build to him.

They made a villain who had a really unique look for a Sith villain, had some mystique to his character, and had two amazing lightsaber battles only to "die" just because. Not saying he could've been as big as Darth Vader or anything, but Maul could've been a great recurring villain and would've helped in Episode 3 when they're turning Anakin to Vader. Also regarding Captain Phasma, I think they did say she'd have a bigger role in The Last Jedi.

Another here for Darth Maul. He was heavily promoted in the publicity drive for 'The Phantom Menace', giving the idea that he'd play a prominent role. Instead he had about four lines, five scenes and lost his lightsabre duel quite easily.
In wrestling terms, the Super Ninja one off SNME appearance against Warrior was a huge let down. I get that it wasn't intended to go anywhere, but to do it on SNME which was a treat in those days wasn't ideal.

Also regarding Captain Phasma, I think they did say she'd have a bigger role in The Last Jedi. I still think it had made more sense if Phasma was given the "Traitor!" bit. Her whipping out this bas ass weapon about to destroy one of the new leads, only for Han to shoot her in the shoulder or leg as she quietly slips away. Would've made interaction at the end of the movie be more personal, instead it was wasted on a no-name storm trooper.

Just caught up with the last two episodes of Once Upon a Time and the reveal of the hooded person who is going to kill Emma was a giant let down.
Will it be Hook? Regina? Henry? Peter Pan? A new Disney villain we haven't seen yet?
Oh no, it's a geek who looks like a level 45 Dungeon Master.
